LUSCIOUS OVEN-BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Luscious Oven-Braised Short Ribs image

Short ribs get a lot of their flavor from their fat; as the meat cooks, the fat melts away and infuses the sauce, making it rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, finely sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 leek, cleaned and finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
4 sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup red wine
1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 pounds short ribs
2 to 3 Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters (optional)
1 stalk celery, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients except the meat and potatoes in a 9- x 15-inch roasting pan. Add the ribs and rub all over with the marinade. The meat should fit comfortably in a single layer in the pan. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or up to overnight. Occasionally turn the meat over in the marinade. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Braise the short ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, reducing the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit after an hour. Turn the ribs over. Add the potatoes in the last 40 minutes of cooking. Add water to the pan if too much liquid evaporates. You want to end up with glistening ribs in a reduced glaze.

Time 3h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 bone-in short ribs (about 5 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 cups tomato paste
2 to 3 cups hearty red wine
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
  • Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS IN THE OVEN RECIPE



Braised Short Ribs in the Oven Recipe image

Oven braising makes beef short ribs melt-in-your-mouth tender. Follow these steps for an easy, family-pleasing dinner.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., high-heat safflower, canola, grapeseed)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups low-sodium beef broth (or more, as needed)
1 cup dry red wine (or more beef broth)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 sprigs fresh thyme (or 2 sprigs of rosemary)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot on medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ribs, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs to a plate as they become brown. Add the onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Return the ribs to the pot along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Add the beef broth, wine, Worcestershire, and thyme sprigs. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, transfer to the oven, and continue to cook, undisturbed until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Check the meat after 2 hours. If there is too much liquid, return to the oven and continue to cook uncovered, until the meat is fork-tender. If most of the liquid has evaporated, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of boiling beef broth or a combination of broth and red wine, return to the oven and continue to cook, uncovered until the meat is fork-tender.
  • Transfer the ribs to a large serving bowl. Pour the broth into a gravy separator. Discard the excess fat. Adjust the seasoning of the remaining liquid with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the liquid over the short ribs, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and serve.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Braised Short Ribs image

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to braising. Allowing the meat to brown for the proper amount of time will release the hidden flavor within the compact ribs, and meld with the aromatic vegetables for a deeply seasoned dish.

Provided by Jonathan Waxman

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds short ribs, cut 2-inches thick
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Onions, cut into large chunks
1 large leek, cut into thirds
1 bunch bouquet garni, 5 sprigs parsley, 2 bay leaves, and 4 sprigs of thyme, tied with twine
4 medium carrots, peeled and trimmed
1 head garlic, cut in half, horizontally
2 shallots, cut in half, horizontally
2 red bell peppers, quartered, stems and seeds removed
1 Jalapeno pepper, quartered, stems and seeds removed
2 tomatoes, cut in half, horizontally
1 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry red wine, about 1/2 bottle

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, add to the pot and cook until all sides are golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes a side.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onions, leeks and shallots and cook until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the red bell pepper to the pot with the short ribs. Slice the Jalapenos and add to the sauteing vegetables.
  • Once the short ribs are completely browned, add the sauteed vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, bouquet garni, peppercorns and wine to the short ribs. Fill with water within 1 inch (2½cm) from the top and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven and braise until the meat is fork-tender, 2½ to 3 hours.
  • Check the short ribs and if they are fork-tender, remove from the oven. Discard the bouquet garni. Serve the short ribs with the vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of short ribs: Look for short ribs that are meaty and well-marbled. Avoid short ribs that are too fatty or bony.
  • Brown the short ribs before braising: Browning the short ribs adds flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the short ribs in a hot pan over medium-high heat until they are browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the short ribs their flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some popular options include red wine, beef broth, or a combination of both.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and depth to the braising liquid. Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Cook the short ribs low and slow: Short ribs need to be cooked slowly and gently in order to become tender. Braise the short ribs for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the short ribs with your favorite sides: Short ribs can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Oven-braised short ribs are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make oven-braised short ribs at home that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give oven-braised short ribs a try.
